Also, I created the app service plan via pulumi, made a change that should've caused a replace. Why didn't it destroy the resource and replace with a new one, but instead throw this strange error?

05/19/2019, 7:47 AMHi @colossal-room-15708! I agree, the error messages are jarring - but since we use the Terraform provider under the hood, there isn’t too much we can do about it short of a wholesale grep/replace for “terraform” in error messages (which still may give incorrect error messages, and looks disingenuous to boot).

05/19/2019, 7:49 AMThis particular problem I think is due to the requirement for unique names - you may need to turn on the “delete before create” behaviour in this case, if you’ve set the name explicitly and opted out of the autonamer which circumvents this
